Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 153 Destroying the Mind, Destroying the Mind, and Destroying the Mind Again

"Yan Chixia, you were the one who, for your own selfish reasons, violated the ancestral teachings of the Xuanxin Sect, wanted to spare the seven-lifetime vengeful couple, and disregarded the common people of the world."

"You are the one who claims to be retiring from the martial world and not care about worldly affairs, yet you keep in mind the ancestral teachings of the Xuanxin Sect and teach the 'Mysterious Secrets of Xuanxin,' which leads to your own death, to your daughter."

As the young man with the gun spoke, he continued to whip Yan Chixia. After only seven or eight lashes, Yan Chixia was left with torn skin and bleeding profusely.

"You are the one who feels guilty and sincerely repents, but is unwilling to face the truth and only wants to escape. You also want to obtain the Moye Sword to deal with the Seven Lifetimes of Enmity. Despite the outbreak of demonic energy in the Netherworld Spring, causing suffering to all living beings in the world, it is still you."

"In the end, the one who heartlessly sacrificed his own daughter, showed no responsibility as a father, and caused his wife unbearable pain and suffering, is still you."

"Tell me, if you continue to live, wouldn't that be a terrible sin?"

Covered in blood, Yan Chixia seemed to have completely lost his mind after being spoken to, and stood up shouting:

"That's right, I, Yan Chixia, deserve to die! Kill me! Kill me now!"

His response was a merciless lash, which struck his face squarely, sending him spinning four or five times before slamming him to the ground.

"Of course you deserve to die. Your master's wife is still too kind-hearted and is still concerned about your relationship as husband and wife. Your junior sister looks aloof and unapproachable, but she is actually just like your master's wife, very soft-hearted."

"So much so that you survived for more than ten years. I, Zhuge Liuyun, have always regarded you as a savior since I was a child. How could you be so heartless and inhuman? You have truly disappointed me."

Zhuang Buran lashed out with the whip again, hard:
"I was only whipping you for my master's wife and junior sister just now. This lash is for my own sake. I misjudged you."

He lashed out with the whip again:
"This lash is for your deceased master, to stop you from being so overly compassionate, either neglecting public duty for private reasons or neglecting private interests for public duty."

"This lash is a further punishment for your deceased master, for you are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything."

"This lash is for the sake of all living beings, to make you spare the seven lifetimes of vengeful lovers, so that the human world may be destroyed by the demonic path at any time."

"This whip will continue to serve the common people, making you disregard the eruption of the Netherworld Spring in order to obtain the Moye Sword."

"These ten lashes were once again for my junior sister. She ran to Dongguo Town to open a clinic because you put all the heavy responsibilities of the world on her shoulders."

"Only when people are alone can they hear the truest voice in their hearts and constantly question themselves about what they want to do in this life and how to live a meaningful life."

"Under the pressure of such voices, one will unconsciously become irritable and anxious, to the point that whenever one is alone, one is always in a state of anxiety and confusion, repeating the same cycle over and over again."

"That's why the clinic called Bingxin Caotang came into being, and this clinic was built on the basis of my junior sister's pain and confusion."

"I imagine that every time the night was quiet, she would ask herself if she could escape that desperate and tragic fate."

"However, the saddest thing is that my own father pushed me to this dead end."

"Stop talking, kill me, kill me!" Yan Chixia was already severely injured from being whipped, but he still stood up regardless.

With a loud bang, Yan Chixia was sent flying again.

“You look like you’re in a lot of pain, but your master’s wife is in a hundred times, a thousand times, more pain than you.”

"What could be more painful for a mother than watching her daughter die?"

"These ten lashes are for your master's wife, who has suffered countless times more than you over the past ten years."

"Her husband became the murderer who killed his own daughter. All those years of love and companionship through thick and thin, have they all become a huge joke?"

"Yan Chixia, do you even deserve to be a husband, a father, or a teacher?"

After Zhuang Buran finished delivering the ten lashes, Yan Chixia lay completely motionless on the ground. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, one would have thought he was dead.

"enough!"

Sima San Niang suddenly appeared beside Yan Chixia. She first used magic to feed him the pills, then took out various healing talismans and used her internal energy to treat his internal injuries.

Seeing that her father's breathing had gradually returned to normal, Yan Hongye walked to the young man carrying the gun and said with a hint of helplessness:
"You really went all out!"

"I got carried away by my emotions and couldn't stop myself." Zhuang Buran raised an eyebrow and shook his head.
"Something's wrong. Your emotions are all jumbled up right now, like a tangled ball of yarn."

He feigned sudden realization:
“We had agreed in private before we came that if Master’s wife didn’t show up, you would show up in time to stop me.”

"Judging from your strange expression, it's no wonder you only showed up with your master's wife at the last minute."

Yan Hongye suddenly took a step back:
"So you were secretly reading my mind all along at Bingxin Caotang. Quickly put away your mind-reading ability."

"I had mixed feelings just now, but I was mostly moved. Now I'm embarrassed and annoyed." Zhuang Buran smiled.

"You're still reading!" Yan Hongye's cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked ready to take action.

"Alright, that's enough reading." Zhuang Buran shrugged.

Five days later, at Despair Manor.

Inside the pavilion.

Zhuang Buran lay lazily on the chair, with Yan Hongye sitting upright beside him.

"Sigh, ever since Master was brought back by his mistress, I feel that the food doesn't taste as good as before. I spend most of my time taking care of Master."

"Who told you to hit so hard? If it weren't for the fact that you were helping us get revenge, you would never want to eat her cooking. You're dreaming."

"Ahem, Junior Sister Hongye, please understand one thing: the manor you are currently staying in belongs to Zhuge Liuyun. Please show some respect to the owner of the manor."

"Indeed, as the owner of Bingxin Caotang, how I treated you as a guest, please return the favor in full."

Zhuang Buran feigned surprise:

“My master’s wife hasn’t given me the land deed to Despair Manor yet, so I can’t be considered the owner of the manor.”

At this moment, Sima Sanniang, who was not far away, was helping Yan Chixia walk over.

"The way they bicker and argue is just like how we used to be," Yan Chixia sighed with a smile.

"It's best not to look too much like him. Once you've recovered from your injuries, leave Despair Manor. Don't think I'll forgive you so easily." Sima San Niang said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Yan Chixia's expression darkened slightly.

As the two walked to the pavilion, Zhuang Buran stood up and said:

"With the arrival of the elders, I, the future master of Despair Manor, have no choice but to stand up and give way."

"Junior sister, you're the youngest here, there's no right for you to sit here, stand up and give it to your senior brother."

“There are clearly four chairs here.” Yan Hongye barely suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.

“I tried it a few days ago, and apart from this recliner, your chair is the only one that is just the right firmness.”

"Then it's even less likely that we'll give in."

“Master’s wife, look how old my junior sister is, still throwing a tantrum at me, her senior brother. You should discipline her.”

Seeing someone's shameless face, Yan Hongye was speechless with anger:

"Zhuge Liuyun, where's your face?!"

"His face, I'm afraid, was brought up the mountain and never brought down," Sima Sanniang said, shaking her head as she helped Yan Chixia lie down.

"When I was little, I was clearly an honest and obedient good child."

“Master, you seem to have a lot to say, why don’t you just say it all?” Zhuang Buran sat down to the side.
"Actually, the past few days were the perfect opportunity. I clearly told you to seize the opportunity, but you were only focused on dying and wasted the great opportunity I created for you."

Yan Chixia said helplessly:
"What you said that day was more vicious than the whip that struck me. Every word hit my sore spot. I felt ashamed and wanted nothing more than to die."

"Alright then, you can go ahead and do your thing now," Zhuang Buran said listlessly.

"Your words sound far too calculating," Yan Chixia said, increasingly exasperated.

Zhuang Buran immediately made a gesture to shut up and remain silent.

"Third Sister, for the past ten years or so, I have lived in the Heartless Cave, which has caused me to be possessed by demonic energy, making me neither human nor demon. Do you think that my desire to take away the Moye Sword day and night is to make up for my mistakes towards Hongye?"

"Actually, I discovered that the Moye sword was about to be unable to suppress the demonic energy in the Netherworld Spring."

"Therefore, we have been assisting the Moye Sword in suppressing demonic energy all these years. In the last few days, we have discovered that the demonic energy of the Yin Shi You Quan is about to erupt."

"So I made a plan, intending to jump into the spring when the demonic energy erupted, and use all my life's power to suppress it, hoping to prevent this catastrophe and keep you and Hongye from being affected."

"Very well, Master, you are truly righteous. It's a pity I didn't know beforehand and unnecessarily planned what happened earlier." Zhuang Buran clapped his hands and sighed.

"Now that you have ruined your master's righteous act, your master's wife and junior sister will probably find it difficult to forgive you in the slightest."
